Mister McFadden presented the Florida Department of Education Office of Safe Schools quarterly compliance inspection report, describing the office’s unannounced inspections and a summary of Marion County results for the quarter.

Lede: The Office of Safe Schools inspects school safety compliance and best practices; staff told the board July 17 that the most recent quarterly report covered eight district schools (about 14.8% of Marion County schools inspected during the quarter) and that four of those inspected had no deficiencies.

Nut graf: The presenter said the full compliance inspections contain confidential safety details and are redacted in the board packet "to maintain the safety and security of the district." He reported that an additional five reinspected schools had prior findings cleared and that all compliance issues in those reinspections were resolved.

Body: Mr. McFadden cited Florida Statute 1001.212 as the statutory basis for the Office of Safe Schools inspections and explained that the office conducts unannounced visits, documents compliance or noncompliance with safety requirements and provides a quarterly summary to district superintendents and school safety specialists. The presenter said the office’s public quarterly summary includes counts and percentages: "Number of schools inspected were 8. The percentage of schools inspected or reinspected was 14.8%. The number of inspected schools with no school safety requirements deficiencies were 4 and the percentage of inspected schools with no school safety requirement deficiencies was at 50%." He also reported that five additional schools were reinspected and that prior compliance issues at those schools had been resolved.

Ending: Board members had no questions on the item; staff noted the detailed report is restricted for security reasons and that school‑level follow up occurs through the district’s school safety specialists.
